Why are lefties so obsessed with space exploration? How about we just figure out a way to keep asteroids, meteors, and comets from impacting Earth? Asteroid mining is as far as I’d go, but terraforming and colonizing otherwise inhospitable and barren hellscapes beyond Earth is legitimately retarded. I don’t even feel sorry for everyone that got fried in the Challenger explosion. Space niggers don’t deserve oxygen.

I wish to visit Pluto in it's lonely orbit
To penetrate Uranus for science and collect diamonds from Neptune
To fly by Saturn and it's rings before they are lost to time
To see with my own eyes the powerful storms on Jupiter
To restore Mars to a garden of eden from an age long past
To look over our Earth in all it's beauty knowing that is is home
To fly over Venus knowing the deadly world it's atmosphere hides
To blast past Mercury, our own little superheated rock
And to marvel at the awesome power contained in our ancient sun.

The universe is ours, we merely need to reach out to it.

Imagine wasting money on attempting to terraform a planet billions of year dead instead of fixing the planet you’re on now.

...

Both? At once? You’re delusional m8 we don’t have the time or money now to be fucking around on a terraformation that would take thousands of years minimum

Meant at

The real question is, why aren't righties obsessed with space exploration? The patents generated by space exploration make it a consistently profitable venture, and it improves technology in pretty much all other fields. Health, infrastructure, communications, just a start off the top of my head.

We got a few billion years
not an issue in our glorious future

Because that's easier said than done. We have to see it coming many years ahead of time to have any chance of changing its trajectory to something safe, and it's easy to miss one object in the asteroid belt or an Oort cloud object coming in at a funky angle. We can't track every single object in our system, let alone the possibility of rogue objects like Oumuamua (Which is not aliens.) Right now, all our eggs are in one basket. Every day humanity is not working toward laying the groundwork for finding new baskets is a wasted day. Fortunately for your genetic lineage, if you have one, there are people currently doing just that.

Are lefties obsessed with space travel though? I thought it was more of a liberal techbro fetish

It is. Zig Forums considers anybody who has relationships with other people "leftists"

It's definitely not because people are genuinely interested into going to space. You even have NASA's logo as your thread picture.

Because space exploration is patented.
I love space exploration too, but I don't have much of a fetish for it.
Would build first space bridge if I was general secretary though.

...

First bore hole to center of Mars. Drop enough nuclear material to reheat the core of Mars and Kickstart the magneto sphere. Next collect asteroids from the asteroid belt and drop them on Mars to increase its mass and gravity. Produce greenhouse gas on Mars to trap heat the atmosphere.

Fucking based white people. Amirite guys? 🤔

🖕 😂🖕

Space is a meme

Not paid? 🤔 Commies want to be star trek?

Real Talk.

Space Conquest with Capitalism will be fucking terrible. You've seen how bad Capitalism is with Earth, imagine what it will be like in Space.

Are we? I mean, I think everyone is interested in space to some extent, its cool as fuck. Astronomy and thinking about traveling to space is one of the oldest human hobbies, we were probably doing it before we were fully human. I don't think we are obsessed with space travel, I don't even think true space colonization is even possible under capitalism, because there's no labour to exploit up there and therefore no profit to be made.

When you realize economic planning is the only viable way to do big science, so you give up wanting to go to the stars entirely

We could certainly do a lot more of what we are doing right now, the tech for moon colonisation is there, so is it the one for Mars colonisation, the question is why though? Our solarsystem except Earth is a barren wasteland. Terraforming? Maybe theoretical possible but we can't even stop the desertification of the Sahara (and literally kill those who tried to do it), so the idea of terraforming an entire planet is nuts.

Because people like it. You don't need further justification. The whole point of communism is to consciously reorganize society to do what workers would like it to do.

...

So, you think we'll be able to get the tech to terraform whole planets and somehow we won't be able to protect earth. The problems that earth is having today are because of capitalism, not because leftists like space.

We should colonize Venus instead. It's literally Earth's sister planet and has an atmosphere unlike Mars. An atmosphere is much easier to work with than no atmosphere.

have fun

Considering that outer space is completely inhospitable, uninhabited and devoid of any productive infrastructure, it would make dialectical sense to argue that capitalism should explore and colonize space, while demanding communism at home on Earth.

Terraforming doesn't mean go right to the surface and planting a farm.

Shit take.

We have to build infrastructure. Mining in space is something we will need to do. We are running out of raw materials. I don't think socialism will be an easy sell if we have to lower everyone's standard of living down to the average Nigerian.

you establish colonies in the upper atmosphere.
it the most ideal candidate after our Moon
